THAT SPRING HILL CORRESPONDENT.

I'VE have had an idea for several DAYS
past that there was something peculiar
about our Q. c., but felt delicate about
giving the thing away. Bro. Yerkes,
however, "lets the cat out of the bag"
BY informing the public through the
CHRONICLE that "he was attacked by q
skunk from behind a fence, at Spring
Hill, last week."
The Courier should have no delicacy
about giving the "thing away" as the
"thing" Is liable to befoul its own nest,
and that would be bad for those of the
Courier Office, who are compelled to sit
in the same room with 1t. For several
months Bozeman LAWYER snapped at
our heels like q bench-legged fiste,
through the Courier, and we paid no
attention to him; but now that venom
GUS quadruped is making himself often
sive, under the guiso Of being the
Courier's correspondent from Spring
Hill, on behalf of the good people Of
that neighborhood, we object.

From Cooke.
Editor of the Chronicle:

Editor of the Chronicle:
I was misinformed and consequently
in error in my letter, published in the
CHRONICLE Fen. 9th, relating to the Shoe
Fly mine, owned by Gassert, Black d
Co., as follows: Instead of fifteen tons
of caIbonates taken out in the past year,
should have been fifteen hundred tons.
The assay average of this ore
was $N per ton in gold and sill
yer, and twenty-five per cent lead, net
ting $22 per ton after mining, hauling
and smelling, as the fuxipg Ingredients
pay for smelling with dry ores. Gsssert
& Reding bought one-third instead of
ope-fourth. GEORGE JosRPHs

All the squaw men-those who have
taken unto themselves squaw wives, in
the majority Of cases without fulfilling
the requirements of the law-are to be
removed from the Grow reservation, and
there is much wailing among the afore-

have become rich from cattle and sheep,
which have been allowed to roam on
the Indian reservation. One notable
instance is that Of Tom Kent, who can
count his sheep by the thousands.
